Blue Wave

Blue Wave16x20 Acrylic in Gold Leaf FrameSOLD

Blue Wave is a loose, impressionistic acrylic that I completed while on a three day demo at Tamarack in Beckley, WV last month. All the usual suspects are here from the blue family: ultramarine, cobalt, prussian, shades of periwinkle, with magentas and royal purples. Naples yellow was used for the upper background with touches of Indian Yellow for the right hand flowers along with cadmium orange and yellow to complete the iris centers. I like the liveliness of this painting and I think it makes a nice abstract statement. Second photo shows detail from the upper middle portion of this Blue Wave. Your comments are always welcome.
